Senior BJP leader Mr Devender Rana today called for revisiting the Indus Water Treaty signed in 1960 under the Congress rule saying it has been beneficial for Pakistan, having detrimental effects on the development and water security of Jammu and Kashmir.
“Revisiting the IWT is imperative to address the longstanding issues of Jammu and Kashmir and earnest resolution holds key for faster development of this part of the country, especially in the power sector”, Mr Rana told media-persons at the sidelines of a congregation at Peerbaba Jai Ali Badhsah Rati Chappri Barn Bhalwal, under the aegis of Baba Chanchal Singh Darbar.
He hoped that the Centre will intensify initiatives to terminate the treaty in the larger interests of the country in general and Jammu and Kashmir in particular.
